Lina shook her long eyelashes and looked out the window. It was nearly noon, but it was still foggy outside the window, and the street was dark and cold.

"Today is December 20th, and it's a bit special for me. Okay, let's talk about this later. The weather is like being in Moscow! Let's start with my study abroad in Moscow. Lena began her story with her hands in her hands.

"When I was twenty-three years old, I decided to study in Moscow. It was my own decision. I majored in Russian at university, and when it came time for me to choose this major, there was a big disagreement in my family. My father strongly encouraged me to study this subject for the simple reason that I should speak Russian fluently to be worthy of my ancestry. After all, I have a quarter of Russian blood in me. My grandmother is Russian. My father's Russian is good, but in my generation, there is basically no Russian-speaking environment.

My mother was particularly unimpressed by my father's idea. She even thought it was better for me not to always remember this trait of myself, which was an obstacle for me to integrate into the crowd and into society.

In fact, my mother's idea is also reasonable, I have felt that I have looked weird since I was a child, and I have some inferiority complex about my appearance, especially when I was young, I felt that others looked at me a bit like a monster, which is a very cruel thing for children. When I was a teenager, I didn't have many friends, and it wasn't until I went to college that I started to become more cheerful.

Perhaps influenced by my father since childhood, I was fascinated by Russian literature and was particularly interested in countries with which I had a relationship. After graduating from university, I joined a foreign trade company as a Russian translator, which gave me the opportunity to think about studying abroad.

If you think about it, I studied Russian and I have Russian roots, and I need to know this country more than anything else.

My dad understood and supported my ideas.

Mom's objection is more justified (1) It's not safe there, and it's so far away. It's okay to go on a business trip once in a while, there's no need to run to suffer (2) I should find a partner and fall in love. After running so far, do you want to find someone who speaks Russian? This is resolutely unacceptable to my mother.

However, for me, Russia is a country that haunts me, and I can't suppress the idea of going out.

"I don't think you'll go crazy if I don't let you go to Moscow?" Mom finally relented.

If I wanted to go, I would go to Moscow, and I was determined to find out what I could do with the country that had a fatal attraction to me.

That's right, Moscow! There is a distant place with poetry!
